Disable excel warning screens
Within Excel there is a check box under
TOOLS>OPTIONS>GENERAL TAB>Macro virus protection
that by default is usually enabled. This produces a warning dialog box anytime you open a workbook that contains VBA.
I am currently writing an application within excel VBA that executes as soon as the workbook is open. I wish to prevent the macro virus protection dialog warning from activating when I run my spreadsheet. In effect I wish to uncheck the macro virus protection in the general dialog box programmatically, since it will be distributed to colleagues. I have tried recording a macro, but this does not work, I have also looked at all the methods, objects and properties associated with the application object, but cannot find any reference to macro virus protection. Displayalerts = false does not work for this dialog box either.
Is there a way of disabling the warning dialog by using VBA, so that my spreadsheet will execute uninterrupted?

If you could do this in VBA then the warning would be completely useless as a malicious macro could disable the warning and run anyway.
office 2000 has an utility to sing your own macros. it's should work for you ...
Basically you can create your own digital signature use it to sing macros.

Displaysalerts is used to ther things, not macro alerts ("The file you try to save already exist...", "doc..... not saved, do you like to close anyway....", and so on)

Actually, after looking over it again I think we can use a 3 way split here. All three of your answers do appear to be correct.

With WolfgangKoenig solution you need to distribute vb application with vb runtime.
Per recommendation, force-accepted.
